Arctic warming negatively affects the foraging and breeding ecology of native Arctic mammals, such as Arctic foxes or Arctic reindeer. [91] In July 2019, 200 Svalbard reindeer were found starved to death apparently due to low precipitation related to climate change. [92] This was only one episode in the long-term decline of the species.
The list of periods and events in climate history includes some notable climate events known to paleoclimatology. Knowledge of precise climatic events decreases as the record goes further back in time.
Recent warming has driven many terrestrial and freshwater species poleward and towards higher altitudes. [215] For instance, the range of hundreds of North American birds has shifted northward at an average rate of 1.5 km/year over the past 55 years. [216] Higher atmospheric CO 2 levels and an extended growing season have resulted in global ...
With wildfires and increased warming, scientists say the Arctic’s tundra is now a carbon source. The region had been a carbon sink for thousands of years (NOAA Climate.gov; Arctic Report)
According to the American government's Climate Change Science Program, "With continued global warming, heat waves and heavy downpours are very likely to further increase in frequency and intensity. Substantial areas of North America are likely to have more frequent droughts of greater severity.
Much of the United States is shivering through brutal cold as most of the rest of the world is feeling unusually warm weather. Wind chills in parts of North Dakota reached minus 70 degrees (minus ...
The Arctic experienced the warmest summer on record this year, contributing to extraordinary wildfires and melting glaciers while threatening the rest of the world with problems including higher ...
This is a list of sovereign states and territories by per capita greenhouse gas emissions due to certain forms of human activity, based on the EDGAR database created by European Commission. The following table lists the 1970, 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 annual per capita GHG [ n 1 ] emissions estimates (in metric tons of CO 2 ...
